Afghanistan’s Natural Gas


Oil and Natural Gas

An initial undertaking by scientists with the USGS Oil and Natural Gas Project in Afghanistan was to obtain and review all available geochemical, geologic, seismic, tectonic, and petroleum exploration and production data in order to accurately characterize the country’s petroleum geology.
Then, in cooperation with the Afghanistan Ministry of Mines and Industry (AMMI), project scientists undertook a comprehensive assessment of potential, yet-undiscovered oil and gas resources (including crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids/condensates), primarily in the northern part of the country. The purpose of this assessment was to provide data necessary to implement rebuilding and development of Afghanistan’s energy infrastructure.
The assessment is based on the geologic elements of total petroleum systems defined in the geologic province, including (1) source rock presence, maturation, petroleum generation, and migration, (2) location and quality of reservoir rocks, and (3) character of traps and time of formation with respect to petroleum migration. Detailed studies of geochemistry, petroleum geology, geophysics, and tectonics combined with an analysis of previous exploration efforts were used to estimate the number and size of undiscovered petroleum accumulations.
You can view assessment results with the interactive map (above), which incorporates GIS and other data relating to the region’s geology, geochemistry, and geography, known oil and gas fields and wells, and additional parameters necessary for evaluating the country’s petroleum resources and their potential for exploration and development. 

A list of all USGS Oil and Gas Project publications is available here.

Curacao UTS : The following were discussed: 1. Existing (older) telecommunications systems are copper based, but all new development is done with fiber optics. 2. Fiber optics are run to the curb in existing developed areas and run all the way to the home in new developments. 3. Fiber optics are installed underground simultaneously with electric. 4. UTS􀁰 concession mandates that they bring service to the home.

Do you like Chinese products? Why?

Image
Yes, I do, but god knows why when it comes to “good Chinese products”, Chinese cuisines just popped up in my mind (probably due to the fact that China is a mecca for gourmets). And today, I really want to amaze you with a Chinese product which is on its way to sweep across the globe. Yeah, I’m talking about  Latiao ! You have no idea how Latiao has already captured the heart of our westerner friends. And these pictures can fill you in. Basically, these “Latiao-goers” are teachers in China, and personally speaking, there is little chance that one can resist its magic charm at first taste. Actually the trend of Latiao has already been reported by Xinhua, Global Times  [1] , LinkedIn and so forth. Forget about steamed buns and smelly tofu, and meet the hot new Chinese snack -- latiao! The spicy sticks that are enjoying their fifteen minutes of fame on the global palate. The cheap "delicacy" is made from gluten, the stuff that makes bread do
